A Copenhagen Family Home Full of Books and Scandi Design Treasures
What would a home be without books?! For Miriam McKenna, an Australian gal living in Denmark, it’s a case of “so many books, such little time!” Just the way it should be, don’t you think?! When Miriam’s not working as a postdoctoral researcher specialising on the theory and history of international law at a Swedish university, she’s relaxing in her beautiful, light-filled home near Copenhagen airport with her Danish husband and their two young children. The brick villa is full of interesting details – including Scandinavian vintage (and contemporary) design pieces, art, subtle shades of blue, patterned wallpaper and of course, lots and lots of books! Ready to kick off the week, in style? Let’s take a tour!

Oval Room Blue paint by Farrow & Ball, Stelton jug (I have loved this iconic Danish design piece even more since interviewing the designer’s son earlier this year).

The white shelves were homemade to fit the space. I really like how they extend over the doorway to make use of every inch of the wall!

This house has me wanting to paint my home in shades of pale blue! That, and spend the whole week there reading!
Is there anything that stands out to you about Miriam’s Copenhagen home?
If you’re curious to read more, there’s a really funny interview with Miriam and a few more pics over on A Cup of Jo. I’m always interested to read about families with dual nationalities, I think that’s why it resonated with me so much. 
It’d be rude not to share a few more Copenhagen home tours today, or what do you reckon? So… pull up a comfy chair, pour yourself an extra strong coffee, light a candle (you know, hygge n’all!) and take a scroll through these inspiring Danish homes: 
Have a great start to the week!
